{Inspired by the monoprint Prelude to the Dolphins' Afternoon by Raymond Neher}

Dolphin's chorale echoes beneath water.
Above, rainbow sloops begin procession,
Sails filled, allegro of softest breeze,
This the passing from silence to song,
Soprano's voice rising with silver moon.
We have already known eternity,
How it bends and melds with time,
The etching of our love on heart's wall,
And the melody we followed continues.
